‘Learning to be happy’
June 19th, 2008By Mike Zlotnicki in the Charlotte News Observer:
Autism makes for stiff conversation. When I say Nicole is autistic, some folks react like you’ve had a flat tire. (”Bummer, dude. You watch the Lakers last night?”) Others may bring up “Rain Man,” because that’s all they know about it. (”Does she have any special talents?”) I don’t blame them, because I knew nothing about autism before Nicole.
